Abstract: The article discusses the relationship between the
development of fuel and energy Uzbekistan with GDP growth
(gross domestic product). Data are provided on the forecast
growth rates of the world economy, the average developed
countries and Uzbekistan, factors for ensuring GDP growth in
tandem with the efficiency of the use of fuel and energy resources.
Based on the cross-country regression analysis, the model of the
influence of the energy system performance index (EAPI) on GDP
growth is shown.
Key words: fuel and energy complex, sustainable economic
development, energy balance, energy structure, energy intensity of
GDP, cross-country regression analysis, innovative energy,
energy resources, investments, unit investment, energy cost..
I. INTRODUCTION
An important result of the economic reforms implemented in
Uzbekistan was the technical and technological renewal of
one of the key sectors of the real sector — the fuel and energy
complex (FEC). As early as 1995, Uzbekistan achieved oil
and, in general, energy independence. At present, given the
republic’s self-sufficiency, measures are being taken for the
medium and long-term satisfaction of its needs with the
necessary quality energy resources on the basis of sustainable
innovative development of the industry.
In the Action Strategy for the five priority areas of the
country's development in 2017–2021, the country's leadership
identified the main objectives for reducing the energy
intensity of the economy, ensuring the rational and efficient
use of non-reproducible hydrocarbon resources in
Uzbekistan, as well as ―ensuring balance and sustainability of
the national economy, increasing its share industry, ....
reduction of energy intensity and resource intensity of the
economy, widespread introduction of energy-saving
technologies into production, expansion ix renewable energy,
increase in labor productivity in the economy; ... to ensure
sustainable high rates of growth of gross domestic product by
maintaining macroeconomic balance, deepening of structural
and institutional reforms on the basis of implementation of the
adopted medium-term programs. "
The fuel and energy sector plays a key role in the development
of the economy of Uzbekistan: almost 50% of capital
investments go to this sector, it accounts for 22.7% of the total
gross domestic product (GDP). Concrete measures are being
taken to increase the efficiency of using power plants, reduce

specific energy consumption, reduce the share of natural gas
by increasing the use of coal in the energy production process,
based on modernization, technical and technological
re-equipment of enterprises, introducing resource-saving
technologies, and, as a result, ensuring reliable and quality
supply consumers with electrical and thermal energy in the
long term [1].
However, the economy of Uzbekistan is very
energy intensive by international standards. Uzbekistan is
inferior in this respect to the average for the countries of
Western Europe - by 4-5 times, the USA - by 3.5 times, Japan
and Korea - more than 4 times. In the group of CIS countries,
Uzbekistan has the highest value for this indicator. The
energy intensity of Uzbekistan’s GDP exceeds the current
value of this indicator in Russia by 80%, Kazakhstan by 70%,
and Ukraine by 20% (Fig. 1) [9].
This is due to the use of technologically outdated equipment,
a high proportion of fuel and energy resources in the country's
exports, relatively low prices for electricity and some types of
fuel, inadequate accounting for the production and
consumption of electricity and energy resources, etc.

On the other hand, the global economic crisis has
demonstrated the scientific and practical importance of
preventing the future sharp fall in the world's GDP by
realizing the economic and innovative potential of their fuel
and energy complexes. Being
the backbone structure of the
global economy, they are able
to generate and maintain
